ENTERTAINMENTS.

TH.E ROYAL HAWAITANS. The Hawaiian native concert party, of singers, musician's and dancers, which are opening here to-morrow evening, present a unique entertainment, in which mandolines, guitars and Hawaiian native instruments, combined with Hawaiian music and hula dances, will*be specially featured. The national Hawaiian music is very inspiring and attractive, and has become an element in America and is gradually forcing itself into European musical circles by its daintiness and charm. This company was organised by the Hawaiian Progress Association to tour the world, and they have created a sensation wherever they have appeared. Included in the organisation is the Hawaiian glee party, a body of eight male singers and musicians, whose part singing of English and Hawaiian songs lias won for them the reputation of being the finest harinonisevs that ever toured the United State*. In Australia recently this party never received less than six encores for any item they contributed. The whole performance is re> (lolent of the sunny isles of the Pacific, and it is said the memory of it lingers in the mind when most things arc forgotten. The prices have been fixed at 3s, 2s and Is, and'the box plan is at Collier's. ' ' .
